Sunday we arrived at the campground where we'll spend the summer and the day was spent trying to find a satellite signal through the trees and catching up with friends Don and Vicki who will also be spending a few months here. Hence a neglected blog entry.
Denny and I figure that we have had the good fortune to experience five Spring seasons this year. Since we were slowly working our way northward from March on, we saw Spring in Florida, southern Alabama, northern Alabama, northern North Carolina and now in Ohio. The differences in climate allowed us to watch the trees just starting to bud when we arrived in the area blossom out by the time we had to move on. How else could you see two month's worth of dogwoods and red bud trees in full bloom?
Azaleas; color so intense it glows.
Someone at the Thousand Trails park in North Carolina not only has woodcarving skills, but a sense of humor, finding a wood nymph in this tree knot.
I walked by this tree stump several times, always seeing the carved image on the other side (an Indian this time) but never seeing the old man carved on the other side.
Since I was driving at the time, Denny had to try to capture the sunlight striking the capitol building in Charleston, West Virginia. The rain had just stopped and the sun made the dome glow like molten gold, but he had focusing issues so he lost the moment. It's still a lovely piece of architecture.
